Bowmore is Islay's oldest distillery going back to 1779. Legend is their youngest whisky produced with no age statement listed. Aged in predominantly American casks, this is an agreeable whisky to explore as an introduction to what Scotch has to offer.

Tasting Notes

"The peat smoke is present, but not aggressively so. This allows the drinker to find the lemony citrus notes along with the maritime sea air and buttery toffee. The saltiness allows the mouth to water making this a suitable before dinner whisky. All in all, while there isn't a tremendous amount of depth to be found, it is pleasant both on the tongue and your pocketbook."
